In order to assist promoters and to answer general membership queries, the website now has a membership register which will be constantly updated. If you are organising or promoting a competition you will be able to see if attendees have current paid up IAWA UK Membership. Remember that any lifter must have membership in order to lift at any IAWA event.

Al Myers is the new promoter of the World Postal Competition. It will be promoted in a very similar manner to the way Steve Gardner has done it the past few years, which has been very successful.
It will still be the “Andy Goddard Memorial”. Andy was a great friend and supporter of the IAWA and the World Postal will continue to be done in Andy’s memory.
The lifts for this World Postal will be the first day lifts of the upcoming Worlds. Please send your results this year to amyers@usawa.com.
